Title: Padded Warhorse - overpriced or not ?
Post by: Ujin on March 09, 2013, 08:23:19 pm: I honestly can't tell myself. Stat wise it's incredible , especially when loomed. Of course it still won't be near as tanky as the more armored horses, but the overall balance of it's armor/speed/maneuver is very interesting, and definitely justifies it being an expensive horse.
But is it maybe a bit too expensive ? I can see what the balance team went for here - a pricey upgraded destrier/barded warhorse that has decent speed capabilities while also having some armor. I just really don't know whether it should belong in the cataphracts price division, one division lower (large warhorse), or somewhere in between (35-38k). Then again, reducing it's price might be risky cause the stats are quite great if you look at them. Dunno, tough one imho.

What do you guys think ?

hit points: 120
body armor: 34
difficulty: 5
speed: 42
maneuver: 41
charge: 36

42.453

I'm not a cav man but looking at stats and prices of all other horses. I feel that should be its price

Besides, if you started balancing horse cost after usefulness then the destrier and the padded warhorse would be were the plated charger is now, and the plated charger would take the rounceys spot.

Also agree with plated charger being the least useful. I mean the horse is not less useful stat wise, it crippled manuever is making it a teamhit/teambump machine.

It's not the least useful, it's still better than a Stumper and an Eastern Horse.
